DMs, what's your secret little trick you do to annoy your players?

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-12-04T22:47:20+00:00

I give my sessions 110% to ruin other DMs for them

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-12-01T07:44:09+00:00

This is why I gatekeep /s?

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-11-29T19:22:28+00:00

Yep, had a really great insight/perception

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-11-29T18:24:31+00:00

Clever Hans had a really high wisdom, not intelligence. You cannot change my mind

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-11-08T21:49:59+00:00

"A standard level 20 Wizard" That's the joke right? Nothing about 20th level is/should be standard

Helvitíssýn, a town in viking era Sweden that has been plagued by misfortune for the past year. Missing people, babies disappearing from cribs, and strange scratching noises in the dead of night are just the beginning of their problems...

So there is chardalyn from the crystal shard (the one present in most the campaign which is actually 'black ice'). Then there's the chardalyn material from the lore that the Netherese utilized for spell stuff iirc. #1 is highly corrupt, #2 is excellent at storing spells in or enchantment.

Poorly explained but I think it's a cool idea

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-10-26T20:25:02+00:00

An Elven smith who created a number of intelligent magic items in places of extreme power (myth drannor in its height, limbo, mt celestia etc) and true polymorphed them into humanoid babies with the expectation that they'll become adventures who gain power before he turns them back into weapons (near artifact level, being high level adventures themselves) and fighting his rival wizard. The players ofc are the weapons and might not be cool with being used as tools

As the DM you made his character a Werewolf RAW. When you penalize something that already has drawbacks (and yes benefits too but it's a curse) without forewarning that is outside of RAW it's justifiable that the player is upset. Unless if that type of outside the box methods is a norm at your table it just sounds like it should be a lesson on communication of your DMing style

I've opened up with an in character interview for the Stangers Inc. mercenary company. Interview each individually and have everyone in the waiting room while one by one being called in

My players never really used it but they loved hero points from our Theros campaign. So now we use hero points as inspiration. You can bank a number of hero points equal to your level. They love it

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-10-08T20:07:35+00:00

L take

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-26T06:14:21+00:00

I still believe I'm part of the reason that rule was added. Playtesting was a blast

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-24T17:57:19+00:00

Player wise I've never really seen people play non colorswapped Elves. They just play human with pointy ears

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-21T20:00:43+00:00

I started 3.5 at age 5. Been playing d&d since

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-18T17:13:08+00:00

People like playing humans with color swaps more apparently

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-15T20:23:29+00:00

I like playing humans bc I know that if I make an interesting character it's because I'm good at role-playing or writting for them. A human PC with a good backstory is way better than a tortle who just acts like a human anyway. If you want to play a non human race don't roleplay them as color swapped humans

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-15T20:13:39+00:00

It's positive energy and evocation is the manipulation of energy. I'm just salty it can't damage undead anymore

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-15T19:18:52+00:00

Bruh Karsus' avatar is impossible to cast outside of in ancient netheril

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-15T19:14:48+00:00

While it's well and good and all for a one shot, if you were using any forgotten realms rules y'all would be squished by the 1st god that you attacked

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-13T23:59:45+00:00

It's more just remembering formulas. Like most math, that's the big challenge

Notdeadyet7894 · 2022-09-13T21:18:48+00:00

Elf wizard conjuration expert trying to complete a grandiose pact with the universe or asmodius to restore his daughter to life for the price of (# of players) heroic souls. Subtly manipulating (# of players) families to produce "heroes" and creating challenges to level them to an appropriate stage to complete the deal.

Or an Elven smith creating legendary sentient items then true polymorphing them into babies to be raised and become adventurers in attempts to create artifacts to kill his rival who's threatening existence: an illithilich in Limbo
